Welcome to the Academic Armageddon website where we aim to bring you the best in febrile futility and occupational disease from the higher education sector. From deep within the decomposing portakabins of the newer university sector we will attempt to lighten the load imposed by shibboleths such as learning outcomes, competencies and transferable skills. Where educational environments have been heavily contaminated with 'quality' as a makeshift for intellectual substance, there is typically little hope for those of us trapped on the teaching treadmill. In between servicing the students' soft cerebral matter you might find some of the enclosed material to be of interest.
